Things are going okay. I definitely have ups and downs all day long, and I am sure it is mostly the result of medication and sitting on my bum. Most of the time I feel positive and I can't wait to start rehabbing my knee. There are moments, though, where I feel afraid that my rehab won't be good enough or that I won't return to running or triathlon. I just have to push those fears aside and continue to give myself a lot of positive talk.
I am a little surprised at how needy I have been post surgery. Since Dave has been working full time every day, I have really felt lonely. By about 1:00pm yesterday, I was in full tears as I could not fix myself lunch and had no one around to help. Dave called with his normal cheery self and I had to explain to him through tears that I need him to check on me more often. Lucky for me, Kathy walked through the door right then with pumpkin pie- followed by Bekah, Laura, Latte, and cheesecake an hour or so later. I also started getting some phone calls and text messages which really cheered me up. Thank you!

i'm such a terrible friend...i'll try to come over tomorrow. kert's family has been here all weekend so i haven't been able to get away.
Keep thinking positive! You'll be running, skipping, jumping and all those wonderful things soon :)
how are you doing? thinking of you and hoping that you are healing well....it will all be worth it. and i totally feel your pain. i know what a pain in the ass it is to have that brace on your leg because i know how much you actually have to bend your knee to do simple everyday activities. but, this too shall pass.
sending some healing vibes your way!!!!

Ooh I want to read that primal blueprint book, and yes I would read it while eating cheesecake or eating twizzlers. I am not much for sour patch, sorry, more for you!
Hang in there, stay in the moment and dont worry about the what if's...things will work out.
